Welcome
Hi, welcome to the American Dad! Wiki, a database of facts presented in the television show American Dad!. Please take a moment and review The American Dad! Wiki Editing Guide which contains most of the important ground rules for edits.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Buckimion (talk) 10:39, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Tim Gunn
We frown on unnecessary padding past mentioning an appearance & episode. That said, Tim's appearance in the single episode gives us some room to work with without boring the readers. --Buckimion (talk) 12:26, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, duly noted for the future. SVTCobra (talk) 14:32, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Fabulous Thunderbirds
The characters such as The Fabulous Thunderbirds MUST be shown to get a page. A ticket does not count as an appearance. I HIGHLY question the need for a link, but if one must be done, link ONLY to an official page or news source. No links to wikipedia are accepted. --Buckimion (talk) 13:47, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I did read The American Dad! Wiki Editing Guide and subsections.  I am not sure where I was supposed to see the 'shown' qualification for getting a page.  Whether or not this policy is in writing, it seems somewhat arbitrary.  JonBenét Ramsey gets a page because Roger gets a porcelin doll that is supposed to look like her.  Jeff Goldblum gets a page because he appears on a dial as a man-fly hybrid.  Julia Roberts gets a page because Roger flashes a photo of her.  None of these three appearances are significant enough to be included in the plot summary.


 * True, there is no depictions of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, but their name appears in writing and throughout the entire episode Klaus and his Thunderbirds tickets are a running gag.  It is a much more significant plot device than at least half of the celebrity pages.


 * The only link I added was to the now deleted Fabulous Thunderbirds page.  I did not attempt and do not wish to link to Wikipedia or any other site.


 * The image File:Behold Fabulous Thunderbirds.png, which you also deleted, was in my opinion a significant improvement over the screenshot of Klaus on the table, which could have been from almost any episode.  It is a matter of opinion, of course, but it was done in accordance with the American Dad! Wiki:Picture Policy.  Sincerely, SVTCobra (talk) 14:32, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

'Items must be seen to qualify for a page so an appropriate screenshot may be used. Items only referenced should be linked to an outside wiki if necessary.' This does not mean a ticket to the concert is acceptable. --Buckimion (talk) 15:54, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Could you please give me a link to the policy page that states things must be shown?  I spent quite a bit of time on creating the page and you just wiped it out.  And why did you delete the image?  I still hold that it is better than the other one.  Fabulous Thunderbirds were integral to the Klaus storyline and thus more important to the show than some of the celebrities that have pages.  It would seem if it was more imortant to American Dad! the TV show, it should be more important to the "American Dad! Wiki".  If it is policy, I think it should be debated. 67.83.178.213 18:03, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

 * Your image was NOT of better quality, plus, it served no useful purpose. Read the American Dad! Wiki:Picture Policy. The episode images have already been filled and you may not replace them with your own images. --Buckimion (talk) 18:15, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, I see it now near the bottom of the page.  I was going by " All pages should be of information contained in the television show." which is listed much higher in the policy.  So does that mean I can create a page for the tickets themselves, rather than the band?
 * I never said my image was better quality, but rather, better content.  How is not showing the tickets better?  The existing image is merely Klaus sitting on the table.  My image showed him holding the tickets in his hand (eh ... fin).   This satisfies the requirement to be "unique to the subject" in the picture policy.  SVTCobra (talk) 18:42, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * The alloted images have already been filled and the policy is in place to keep people from swapping out images to suit themselves. A page for the tickets is so stupid I would block you on GP, not that the thought hasn't already crossed my mind for your being a pain in the ass as well as being certain that name of yours is familiar from somewhere which means I've probably blocked you before under a similar name. I suggest you go chase parked cars before I drop the banhammer. --Buckimion (talk) 18:52, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I have never edited on Wikia before.  I am familiar with wikis via Wikinews and Wiikipedia.  But since you couldn't tell, I was being facetious when I suggested creating a page for the tickets. SVTCobra (talk) 19:41, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I will have to give you credit for piling the bullshit so deep that any thought of a joke went out the window. --Buckimion (talk) 19:58, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Block
I know the block is only about 2 hours, but it was for "Failure to read policy" which is untrue. --SVTCobra (talk) 14:49, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Blocked again
I was making constructive, good-faith edits to James Kim which was listed at the CIA Headquarters as a page that need help and expansion. I went out of my way to find Mr. Kim and get actual information about him. I was listing it complete with references as per policy. Not IMDB, not Wikipedia.

Buckimion, I do not believe you are interested in a wiki community. You are one of three Admins on this wiki, and the only one that has edited since 2011. American Dad! Wiki has become your personal little kingdom. A three day block for good-faith editing with a message to "Get the Fuck Out", that's real friendly, sir. You are running rampant without any coherent rules for your use of the banhammer and there's no longer anyone else on this wiki that can reign you in. You are doing more harm to this wiki than you realize. Sincerely, --SVTCobra (talk) 20:48, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
